I just don’t get this guy. What was he trying to trade? A 2nd and a 3rd or two? How does a modern GM believe that it’s possible to build a consistent winner by only drafting one or two starters a year? Most guys don’t have 10 year careers. You have to bring in more young talent than that.

It's concerning that he hasn't learned from his past mistakes.

The fact he didn't find a partner is a sign that he used restraint and wasn't offering something outrageous. This isn't a bad thing...... 

I think this is rational.  Whatever first round grade they had wasn’t a good enough grade to bet the farm.  I am not a fan of the trade up but I will not crucify him either.   If we have an anchor on the line for a while it will be worth it

5th year option

I kinda wish we didn't have that 5th year option on Shaq to have forced our hand. We would've either already signed him to an extension that would probably put his cap hit for this year at significantly less than his current nearly $10M or we would've let him walk and TD would be here for another year.

If we were completely sold on Shaq, he would've already been extended. That 5th year option really only helps you if you're dealing with a really good player at a premium position. QB, LT, WR, CB then yeah. Mediocre LB? Meh... I wish we didn't have that crutch. Make the call.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, we are gonna stink at some positions. We have a bad roster, so you just have to expect that on a cellar dwelling team. The hope is that it's a net improvement over last season. If we accomplish that, I am good. I don't want to see Rhule era panic and more outgoing draft capital in another foolish "a couple of pieces away" campaign.

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      Worse than Gabriel is insane. That's "about to be out of the league" status. That draft really will go down as the worst class in NFL history for QB's. If it wasn't for Purdy, there wouldn't be a single NFL QB in the entire thing. But, the most impressive of all is us picking the only one of them that ended up never seeing an NFL game. #TepperMagic

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By MHS831 · Posted

      With Morgan, I see a plan. No, you don't measure the GM at this point in terms of wins and losses--but we will later.  I thought Hurney sucked in free agency and was sub par after round 1 of the draft.  When Fox was a lame duck and did not inform the GM, Hurney drafted Jimmy Clausen and moved up for Armanti Edwards. He started trading away future first rounders when he got desperate (to get Otah and then drafted Everette Brown the following year)  Gettlemen was the "one-year contract" guy.  The players hated him.  Fitterer was terrible.    It is too early to tell with Morgan, so you have to look at the pieces.  Our OL was bad, now our OL is good.  WR was a weakness--now WR seems to be a strength.  DL was bad, now DL should be very good.  Pass rush was bad, we have 2 solid rookies and added Wonnum and Jones.  I think Morgan has had 2 solid drafts, especially in rounds 3-7.  He has had 2 good seasons bringing in UDFAs, imo.  The team went from terrible in 2024 to taking the two super bowl teams down to the wire late.  The energy is positive.  The wins will come.
